Abstract - With the exponential rise of DeepFake content
circulating on social media platforms like Twitter, the need
for robust and real-time detection systems has become
paramount to safeguard digital trust and authenticity. In
response to this pressing concern, "DeepSecure," an
innovative deep learning-based solution tailored for
efficient DeepFake detection. By harnessing the power of
Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks [1] and
Residual Next (ResNext) Convolutional Neural Networks
(CNNs), DeepSecure adeptly analyzes multimedia content
on social media feeds. The proposed system empowers users
and platform administrators to combat the escalating
threat of deceptive content, thereby fortifying the
cybersecurity landscape in social media ecosystems.
Through rigorous experimentation and real-world
implementation, this research endeavors to offer a reliable
and timely defense against the proliferation of DeepFake
content on popular social media platforms.

1. INTRODUCTION
With the unprecedented growth of social media and the
widespread sharing of multimedia content, the rise of
DeepFake technology has emerged as a significant
cybersecurity threat, jeopardizing the authenticity and
trustworthiness of information circulated online.
DeepFake techniques employ advanced machine learning
algorithms, including Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM)
[1] networks and Residual Next (ResNext) Convolutional
Neural Networks (CNNs) [2], to produce highly realistic
and deceptive fake videos and images. As the prevalence of
DeepFake content continues to escalate on social media
platforms, there is a pressing need for real-time, robust,
and efficient solutions to detect and mitigate the
dissemination of false and misleading information.
In this research paper, we present "DeepSecure," a
pioneering real-time deep learning-based system that uses
the power of LSTM networks [1], Python, and ResNext
CNNs [2] to effectively combat DeepFake threats in the
realm of social media. DeepSecure is meticulously
engineered to intelligently analyze multimedia content
shared on social media platforms, enabling rapid and
accurate identification of DeepFake content. Leveraging
the strength of LSTM [1] and ResNext CNN [2]
architectures, our system enhances cybersecurity
measures by providing a reliable and scalable solution to
counteract the growing sophistication of DeepFake
technology.
Through rigorous experimentation and performance
evaluation, we aim to demonstrate the effectiveness and
practicality of DeepSecure in safeguarding the integrity
and trustworthiness of multimedia content on social
media. The integration of deep learning techniques and
Python programming enables DeepSecure to operate in
real-time, allowing for swift detection and response to
potential DeepFake threats. By presenting a
comprehensive analysis of DeepSecure's capabilities, we
endeavor to contribute valuable insights towards the
ongoing efforts to mitigate the adverse impact of
DeepFake content on social media platforms, fostering a
safer and more secure digital landscape for all users.
2. LITERATURE SURVEY
These days, a number of new threads are emerging as the
usage of AI technology grows. A media or video can be
edited using deep learning to create a false version and
raise security concerns on social media sites. The changed
media may be utilized for journalism, entertainment, and
politics. Some excellent materials, such as an IEEE
(Spectrum) publication [3], help to improve the quality of
Deepfake development and leads to more fake content
over the social media.
Numerous research endeavors have been dedicated to the
detection of deepfakes; however, achieving real-time
detection remains a challenging pursuit. This research
paper seeks to address this crucial gap by focusing on the
development of a real-time deep learning-based system
for robust deepfake detection. By exploring the fusion of
LSTM [1] and ResNext CNN [2] models, our study aims to
contribute to the advancement of cybersecurity in social
media, enabling swift and efficient identification of
manipulated content in a dynamically evolving digital
landscape.
In conclusion, the realm of deepfake detection has
witnessed extensive research efforts, yet the challenge of
real-time detection persists. This research paper takes a
